returning data from an ssh2_exec()

[severndigital]

here's what i got.

 

$conn = ssh2_connect($this->_host);
		ssh2_auth_password($conn,$this->_user,$this->_pass)or die("Cannot Connect");
		//build command line to include this jobnumber
		$command = '/usr/local/bin/invoiced_date.sh ' . $jobnumber;
		//issue the command line
		$stream = ssh2_exec($conn,$command);
		stream_set_blocking($stream,true);

		$output = ssh2_fetch_stream($stream,SSH2_STREAM_STDERR);
		echo 'what i got: ' . $output;

 

when this echo's i get.

 

what i got: Resource id #7

 

how do i turn Resource id #7 into actual information?

 

Thanks in advance,

C

You can call stream_get_contents on the stream resource, $output.

i tried that also with no luck.. just returns an empty variable.

 

when I run the .sh script in the command line on the server it returns a line of text to terminal.

 

that line of text should be outputting correct??

 

$conn = ssh2_connect($this->_host);
ssh2_auth_password($conn,$this->_user,$this->_pass)or die("Cannot Connect");

//build command line to include this jobnumber
$command = '/usr/local/bin/invoiced_date.sh ' . $jobnumber;

//issue the command line
$stream = ssh2_exec($conn,$command);
stream_set_blocking($stream,true);

$output = ssh2_fetch_stream($stream,SSH2_STREAM_STDERR);
$output = stream_get_contents($output);
echo 'what i got: ' . $output;

 

is that code right .. or am I missing something??

 

Thanks again,

C

You're reading STDERR (usually for errors), do you instead want to be reading STDIO (SSH2_STREAM_STDIO)?

[severndigital]

still no dice...

 

i took this code directly from the php.net page for ssh2_fetch_stream

$conn = ssh2_connect($this->_host);
		ssh2_auth_password($conn,$this->_user,$this->_pass)or die("Cannot Connect");
		//build command line to include this jobnumber
		//$command = '/usr/local/bin/invoiced_date.sh ' . $jobnumber;
		$stdout_stream = ssh2_exec($conn, "ls");

		$err_stream = ssh2_fetch_stream($stdout_stream, SSH2_STREAM_STDERR);

		$dio_stream = ssh2_fetch_stream($stdout_stream, SSH2_STREAM_STDIO);

		stream_set_blocking($err_stream, true);
		stream_set_blocking($dio_stream, true);

		$result_err = stream_get_contents($err_stream);
		$result_dio = stream_get_contents($dio_stream);

		echo 'Error gets: ' . $result_err;
		echo '<br/>';
		echo 'Dio gets: ' . $result_dio;

 

i removed my .sh script from the mix and am I just running an ls, and it comes still comes back blank.

 

another thing that interesting is that the .sh script is actually running (it does what it is supposed to on the server i am ssh'ing to) I just can't get the variable to fill with output, which is what i need)
